Razia Sultan…the story retold fanfiction Chapter 50 continued

Nasir peeped into his Chamber and found Fatimah standing there with her back at him , the man who had just entered his chamber stood near her , Fatuimah , said to him without turning back “ I had waited for this day for six months , a whole six months , I’ve waited to tell you … to tell you that how much I LOVE YOU , I know , the marriage,… and all those things were unexpected by , me .. now , now want to make everything right , I love you N..” she stopped suddenly when the spy put his hand on her shoulder “ I love you too Fatimah!” he said cunningly , Fatimah at once got alerted , though she had not turned back yet she knew that this was not Nasir’s hand , she turned back and her eyes widened with shock. ,

On the other hand , Nasir who had witnessed this preplanned event by Turkan , was shattered , he felt as if somebody had smashed his dreams of glass , his heart broke into thousand pieces and he died a hundred deaths as Fatimah’s words echoed in his ears , Turkan , who by the time , also reached there with Rukknuddin and had ordered her messenger to set up the court by calling all the ministers acted to be too angry and shocked “ Great , shezaadi Fatimah , great, what a player you are , you managed to manipulate both , Shezaadey Nasir and your lover , Khalib.” she clapped with sarcasm while entering the chamber , Nasir by then was too shocked and lost in thoughts to say anything , his heart as well as his trust was broken , he looked at her with teary , disgusted eyes , Fatimagh was not a fool she was clever enough to guess what actually had happened and who was behind all these “ Shezaadey Nasir , listen to me.” she said while approching him but Turkan stopped her “ What’s left to listen now , poor shezadey Nasir , he loved you with all his heart and soul.”

Turkan taunted , Fatimah couldn’t hold back her anger any longer , she had tried to keep calm and ignore the lady as much as possible but she had crossed all her limits now , raising her hand in air , Fatimah slapped Turkan across her face “ STAY IN YOUR LIMITS YOU MERE MISTRESS!” she yelled at him , Turkan was not expecting at least this , seeing this , Rukknuddin rushed to his mother’s rescue and held Fatimah by her hair , a sharp pain strung her head “ You mere slave , how dare you insult my ammi , apologise , RIGHT NOW.” he said while gritting his teeth , Fatimah was a lady of self respect , she punched him across his face and warned “ You … better stay in YOUR LIMITS.” , saying so , Fatimah was about to approach Nasir when Rukknuddin got up again held Fatimah by her hair once again , this time , more harshly “ I’ll show you your position today only.” with these words , Rukknuddin marched out of the chamber , pulling Fatimah by her hair , Fatimah yelled and cried with pain and stuggled to free herself but all her efforts went in vain.
————————————————————-
Rukknuddin pulled her by her hair all the way to the court ,reaching the court , he pushed Fatimah so harshly that she fell on the floor and hurt her lips , but she ignored the pain , her knees and right elbow ached like anything , by the time ,Nasir had also reached there , the ministers present there started to murmur in surprise Fatimah’s hair was all messed up by now , Rukknuddin then addressed the ministers “She cheated the sultanate , she ought to be punished!” he yelled , Fatimah looked at Nasir with hope-filled eyes but Nasir turned his head away after giving her a disgusting look , feeling utterly humiliated , she got up with a lot of effort and asked “ Why is everyone silent , a woman is being insulted here.” but to her dismay , everybody remained silent , no one spoke Turkan smiled evilly and vicariously seeing this Fatimah said in a low , dangerous , shaking and angry voice “The court , where a woman had been insulted shall have to kneel before a woman only.” “And you.” she continued pointing towards Rukknuddin “Shall face death in the hands of a woman only.”

Rukknudin smiled and said with pride “ I am Sultan-e-Hind , and no one can dare to even touch even a strand of hair of mine.” saying so , he was going to hold Fatimah by her hair again when Nasir spoke up at last “ Rukknuddin , as you know , abbu had always respected women , no matter what , hence you have no right to insult a woman in his Sultanate.” “ Shezaadey Nasir is right , we should not forget that Fatimah is a woman .” some ministers added ,

Turkan put her hand on Rukknuddin’s shoulder gesturing him to stop now “ We had enough , send her to exile , all we needed was to send Fatimah away.” she whispered in his ears , to which Rukknuddin nodded “ As per the laws and the wishes of your husband and the court ,I’ll not sentence you death , but you must leave Dilli forever and never show your face to it’s people.” he ordered her “ I would have left the place anyways , the palace , my so-called home , where people talk about respecting woman but ironically , no woman is safe here , and people here ,who can tolerate all your crimes , all your tortures on them , but cannot see a woman taking over the throne , talk of ‘respecting woman!’ how humorous that is.” she gave a humorless short laugh , a lone tear escaped one of her eyes , but she wiped it away immediately and made her way towards the exit doors of the court , when she came across Nasir ,

she had at least a little hope somewhere in her heart , she looked at hi with teary eyes but he turned his face away , the little hope she had also vanished away her face became expressionless , she blankly walked away , not even turning back for once , her self-respect , her esteem , her worth had been hurt , on that day , when Rukknuddin crossed all his limits of crimes by insulting a woman , his death countdown began.
